2 Main Event 2 Pair Hands

[Ian J]

Hi,

Both opponents I would describe as "old guys" meaning that they play fairly passive and moderately loose but are not fish per se. You've seen the type.

Hand 1: J9dd 2 limps I limp MPish blinds play 5 way action. 50/100 blinds eff. stacks are 20k.

Flop Qd 9h 4c 2 checks first limper bets 400 I call HU to turn. Jh on turn he checks and I bet 800. He raises to 3k straight. ??????????

Hand 2: KQo 50/100 blinds 17k effective.

I open for 300 from MP1 and the SB calls. HU to a flop of KQ3 all spades. He check calls 500. Turn Td He checks I bet 1200 he makes it 4000 on top. ???????????????
